For the world’s most expensive beef, we journey to the iconic city of Kobe. Since the 1800s, the Japanese have taken extraordinary care with raising and breeding Wagyu beef. The world’s finest cattle has a reputation of being hand-fed, regularly massaged with oil and drunk on beer while listening to classical music. An eight ounce cut can set you back by US$160.
